Training Evaluation

Training evaluation is a continual and systematic process of assessing the value or potential value of training programs to guide decision-making for the program’s future.

When we Evaluate...

--We examine the assumptions upon which an existing or proposed training program is based

--We inquire, up front, about the expected results of the training program

--We create then study the goals and objectives of the program.

--We collect information about a program’s inputs and outcomes.

--We compare it to some pre-set standards.

--We report findings in a manner that facilitates their use.

Why Evaluate?

Agencies are required to evaluate their training programs annually to determine how well such plans and programs contribute to mission accomplishment and meet organizational performance goals (5 CFR 410.202). In addition, demands to demonstrate training program efficiency, program effectiveness and public accountability are increasing. Evaluation can help meet these demands in various ways:

Analysis of program effectiveness or quality --To determine achievement of project objectives.
--To identify strengths and weaknesses of a program.
--To determine the cost-effectiveness of a program.
--To assess causes of success or failure.
